Sweet Potato Pudding is a cozy, spiced dessert made with mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, and warm spices. It’s creamy, comforting, and easy to make—perfect for fall or holiday gatherings, or simply as a wholesome treat.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (cooked and cooled)
  • 1 cup milk (whole, almond, or oat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, chopped pecans, maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or individual ramekins.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together mashed sweet potatoes, milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and melted butter until smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish.
  4. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the pudding is set and the top is lightly golden.
  5. Let cool slightly before serving warm, or chill for a few hours to serve cold.
  6. Top with whipped cream, nuts, or maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  • Use canned sweet potatoes (plain, not in syrup) for convenience.
  • Swap in coconut milk and plant-based butter for a dairy-free version.
  • Add raisins, dates, or orange zest for flavor twists.
  • For a decadent variation, swirl in cream cheese or add a crumb topping.
  • Delicious as a dessert or served as a breakfast with yogurt or granola.
